Update: I did decide to keep this guitar. The weirdest thing happened; I just left it out for about a week without touching it, then picked it up without any explanation it started playing well again. Maybe it needed time to adjust to the climate of my studio? Either way, it's always out and is a lot of fun to play. Probably will switch out the bridge pick-up though.
I got the gold one about six months ago. I knew when I played it, it was a good one. no issues. I put grover vintage tuners on it and and got it set up and I Love it! I have a Gibson SG with p90's I wanted to try the hum buckers. Mine is definitely a good one even unplugged. Nice axe!!! I'm going for a real Les Paul next. Really want to try a Gibson SG also!!
Have a 61 reissue...plays better then any guitar ive ever had... build quality is spot on (better than my old gibson lp) and does the gritty stuff and also cleans up really nicely for country style. Only criticism is bridge pickup a little brash but middle setting sounds as good as anything ive had. May swap pickups for burst buckers.
I love my SG in Graphite Black, getting used to the neck which is comfortable but different from my usual Les Pauls and Fenders for sure. No buzz here thank goodness.
Hell yea, the craziest thing happened with this SG. I just left it out of it's case and allowed it to just sit out in the room. No clue what happened but now the fret buzz is gone =) The Graphite Black model looked hot, but the Sparkling Burgundy is sooo sexy. I can't find a pic that captures it correctly.
I don’t like that it doesn’t have pickup rings. It has the thinnest frets possible. The pickups are low grade. Action needed slight adjustment for no string buzz. No dead spots on mine. Plays nice. Having said all that, get the Muse, much better instrument. It has medium jumbo frets and pick up rings and besides the coil splits, the neck tone knob pulls out for out of phase mode. Pickups slightly better than the traditional pro. Upgrade to the Seymour Duncan 59 ones with 4 conductor cable. I’m returning the traditional pro.
Have you ever tried an Epiphone Casino? I had to replace the tuners on my Epi Thunderbird bass. It would not stay in tune. It’s not a high end bass but it’s not cheap either. Now I’m selling it because my new cat (and soulmate)needs surgery. It’s all good though. I have more. 🤓
@@SpellsandCurses Thanks for the good vibes. And it’s too late. The Casino has already been bought and modified to personal preference. It sounds beautiful.
@@lindaohanraha-hanrahan2817 oh boy, when I read "too late", I thought you were gonna tell me some bad news about the cat! Glad the guitar (and the cat) are making you happy!
@@SpellsandCurses As soon as I started to read your response I thought-he’s going to thing that my cat is dead. 😂 Alive and pain free. He’ll be ok. He just needs a bunch of teeth out.
Weirdly Rave, i was looking at an Epiphone guitar about 2 weeks ago in a Charity shop in Ely it was just under £300 & I considered buying it because it sounded so pretty, every time i went past I had to play the strings...it didn't sound buzzy but it was larger than yours & had a darker finish. Wonder if it is still there....maybe i missed out on a bargain! 🧐😕😖
@@SpellsandCurses Yes good idea Rave! Probably sold by now though but think I might go back & check & will do that if it is still there! Strangely been thinking about it since I saw it & probably is quite a collectable guitar!
I looked up Epiphone guitars & recognised it due to the beautiful mother of pearl detailing on the headstock with a lot of gold, lots of dials.....an Epiphone Sheraton Pro 11.. versatile Jazz, blues, rock & looks very beautiful!

I have this exact same guitar. I absolutely love playing this SG.
That finish is delicious, is it not? hahaha
@@SpellsandCurses For real.
That's cool that it already has coil splits. You could put P-Rails in it and use those knobs for switching.
That's not a bad idea... That's not a bad idea at all!

That's good! That's the most important thing 💓

hell yea! Nice!
I bought the gold one from MF and after a bridge adjustment it plays awesome with no buzz. I was blown away for 329.
Hell yeah, that's what's up! The gold was cool, but was leaning a bit too close to mustard for my taste 😅

@@SpellsandCurses I moved to Hawaii two years ago and all my guitars seemed to normalize with the moderate humidity!

Interesting, I was looking at the Muse but the sparkling burgundy of the traditional pro was too sexy to ignore!

I have actually, it's a pretty cool guitar. But like all other guitars, try them in your hands before buying! And I hope your cat gets better soon!

aww sweet baby kitty@@lindaohanraha-hanrahan2817
I was considering a discounted SG through Guitar Center, but fret buzz is unacceptable. Thanks for the warning.
Yessir. Always try before you buy

Take a pic or vid so I can see! Maybe you'd get the deal of the century!
